trolls Friday night. Who were encouraged to think Bernie camp could never, ever make a mistake. I do agree that there are trolls pretending to be Clinton supporters too.

The GOP trolls did that after the 2012 election. Why would you think they would not do it to Bernie and Hillary supporters when there is an actual election? Those were the psychopaths I was referring to. I'm gowiththrottleup on the DI.
